Troubleshooting
Tight fit on first wear
The trainers may require a short break-in period. Wear them for short durations initially and gradually increase wear time as they conform to your foot.
Discoloration on TPU panels
Wipe gently with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive materials that can damage the finish.
Laces coming undone frequently
Ensure the laces are tied securely using a double knot. Consider replacing the laces with a grippier material if the issue persists.
Unusual squeaking noise
This can sometimes occur due to friction between the sole and the insole or upper. Try applying a small amount of talcum powder under the insole or to the tongue area.
